a report has reached this Office that
parties are dynamiting the fish in
Middle and Penns Greek. We have
heard of only one thing that is mean
er and that is the reported poisoning
OF trout in Swift run. Why people
should be so heartless as to indulge
in n wholesale obstruction of fish and
their spawn for few pound OF meat
is matter which we cannot under
stand. There certainly Is no sport in
it and II the parties are found out
and reported to the State Fish Com
missioners, as they should be, they
will have an opportunity to view the
green fields and laughing waters Of
Middlecreek Valley through the iror
bars OF the Snyder County Jail.
On Monday last, Hiram p. App af.
fected q loan Of $1,000 from John II
Kaufman Of Northumberland county
and liquidated his Indebtedness con-
tracted by bailing Albert Arbogast
Only 81 500 OF the above sum was tn,
personal debt of Mr.. App. How anc
why as good a business man as Mr.
App should involve himself by bailina
and endorsing Arbogast, who was G
reckless agent without real or person
al estate-and at one time had almost
wrecked his father-is, to us, al
enigma. Arbogast has skipped fol
parts unknown, and 1t remains for M
App to pay, grin and bear with his
hard luck. 1t is severe lesson and
our people in n measure sympathize
with him. However, no one is toe
old to learn. Mr.. opp is abundantly
able to meet such loss-but in that
there isn't much consolation. either.
